Famous quotes containing the words big and/or baseball:
“God is not on the side of the big battalions, but on the side of those who shoot best.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
“When Dad can’t get the diaper on straight, we laugh at him as though he were trying to walk around in high-heel shoes. Do we ever assist him by pointing out that all you have to do is lay out the diaper like a baseball diamond, put the kid’s butt on the pitcher’s mound, bring home plate up, then fasten the tapes at first and third base?”
—Michael K. Meyerhoff (20th century)
